Directions

Very well situated in a quiet private road in one of Reigate’s premier locations with long southerly views.  Reigate town centre is a little over a mile to the north-west.  The property is within walking distance of Reigate Parish School, Reigate Grammar and Reigate School.  Access to junction 8 of the M25 at Reigate Hill is approximately three miles by road and Gatwick Airport lies some seven miles to the south.  Redhill mainline station is approximately one and a half miles to the east and Reigate station is about one and a quarter miles to the north-west.

Description

A superb, mature garden plot of nearly 1.70 acres (0.61 hectare) set in a prestigious private road on the south side of the town.  There are two existing four bedroom detached houses dating from around 1958 and 1962 approached on a shared driveway.  The site is mostly laid to lawn with impressive cedar and wellingtonia trees near the entrance.  The majority (see front photo) is a southerly slope in three terraces.

Planning

No planning applications have been made in the recent past to develop the site.  However, there would appear to be scope for enlargement or replacement of the two existing houses, subject to planning permission.  Neither houses are listed buildings.  There is a blanket tree preservation order (TPO) covering the site.  An application under ref: 89/13950/OUT to build an additional house was refused by Reigate & Banstead Borough Council (tel:  01737 276000) on 15th January 1990.

Freehold with vacant possession on completion.  Mains services are connected with drainage run from west to east across the site.  Covenants in the title documents indicate that no buildings shall be built on the land other than detached private dwelling houses with suitable outbuildings.
